Of courcc, tor thousands of years lay man havo made morry and clergy mon nnd prophets havo solemnly de nounced the fashions of women, "their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains and bracelets and tho mufflers, the bon nets and the ornaments of tho legs (Jowoled garters, of course,) and tho head bands and tho tablets and tho "errlngs, tho rings and nose Jewels, tho chaugcablo suits of apparel and tho mantles nnd tho wimples and tho crisping pins, the glasses and the fine linen nnd the hoods nnd tho veils."

Ho can't fool them by any such trick as that. Tho taste In facial decoration Is very much tho Hamo In Paris nnd In Tahiti, but In the former there Is a shrinking from pain Which makes It Impossible to use tho decorating of tattooing, which will not fade or wash off. All the beautiful effects of tattooing, the pictures of ani mals, the imitation of wounds, tho in tricate set figures, can be obtained temporarily By tho figured veil: and a taste .fn personal adornment which Is identical with that of tho South Sea Islanders can be Indulged without pain, and with the additional advant age of an easy chango of decorations by the usu of veils with figures woven in.

SUMMARY OF THE CHARGES Diversion of Campaign Contributions for 8toek Speculation Is Alleged 8tory of the Executive's Fight With Tammany. Albany N. Y. William Sulzer, gov ernor of Now York, has beon impeach ed by tho lowor house of tho stato leg islature, and will bo tried by tho sen ate and tho circuit court of appeals, sitting together us a court of im peachment. The article of Impeach ment, which wero adopted by n vote of 79 to 45, chargo tho governor with perjury nnd larcony of campaign funds and with other slightly less serious of fenses. An Important part of tho chargo Is that Mr. Sulzer diverted campaign contributions to his private uso and Invested them in stocks. Just before the impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a statement to the effect that she had taken part of tho campaign money and bought stocks with it in Wall street. Sho will probably take tho witness stand at tho trial to tell this story. Charges Against 8ulzer Strippod of their legal verbiage, tho articles of impeachment against Gov ernor Sulzor aro as follows: 1 That Governor Sulzer. in filing his statement of campaign expenses, sot forth that his entire receipts woro $5,460 and his expenditures $7,724; that this statement "was false and was intended by him to bo false;" that his list of receipta failed to include 11 specific contributions, ranging in amount from $100 to $2,500. 2 That Governor Sulzer attached to his statement of campaign expenses an affidavit declaring that the state ment was "a full and detailed state ment of nil moneys received or con tributed or expended by him directly or Indirectly." That this affldavifwas Qovernor Sulzer. false and was corruptly made by him," and that ho was "guilty of willful 'and corrupt perjury." 3 That Governor Sulzer "was guilty of mal and corrupt conduct in his of fice us governor and was guilty of bribing witnesses." The specific chargo is Ui at whllo tho Frawley commltteo wan investigating tho governor's cam paign accounts he "fraudulently in duced" throo wltnossea (his campaign manager, a personal friend, apd a stock" broker) -to -withhold their testi mony from said commltteo." i That tho governor was guilty of "suppressing eyldpnco" in violation of tho state penal law. The epeclflo chargo is that he "practiced deceit and fraud and used threats and menacos with Intont to prevent tho Frawloy commit tee from procuring the attendanco and testimony of certain witnesses." 5 That the governor was guilty of "preventing and dissuading a witness from attending under a subpoena" the stsslons of tho Frawley committee. Tho witness referred to is Frederick L. Colwoll, alleged to havo acted as Sut ler's agent In certain stook transac tions. 0 That prior to his election the covornor appropriated campaign con tributions to his own use, "and used tho Bnmo,' or a largo part thereof, In speculating In stocks . . . nnd thoroby stole such checks and was guilty of larceny," 7 That Qovernor Sulzer promised and threatened to use tho authority and Influence of his oillco for tho pur pose of affecting tho voto or political action of certain public officers, includ ing two assemblymen. 8 That ho "corruptly used his authority as governor to affect the prices of securities on tho Now York stock oxchango, in somo of which he was speculating," How It All Started. When Governor Sulzor, tho "peo ple's governor," and the "poor man's friend," refused to do the bidding of iioss Murpny,ot Tammany Hall, the most remarkable political drama Now York state had ever seen was begun. From that very moment Tammany Hall carried out a ateady and con sistent program of warfare against Sulzor and all things Sulzor. The gov ernor repllod in kind, as well as he could. A Tammanylzed legislature in stituted an "investigation" of Sulzor, and Sulzer reciprocated with an "In- First Condition of Success. Hero in the prime condition of suc cess, the great secret concontrnta your energy, thought nnd capital ox oluslvely upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun on Ma line, resolvo to fight it out oa that line, to load in It, adopt every Improvement, hnve the best machln ry, and know he most about It Finally, do not be impatient, for, as Emerson says, "No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yoursslt" Andrew Carnegie. " ME yestlgation" of some Tammany-co-trolled state department "What was it all about? Direct pri maries, mainly. Also about appoint monls. Doss Murphy sought to havo certain organization men appointed to ollicc. Sulzor declined to appoint tllem, although ho had been something of an organization man himself for a great many years, and immediately aftor his election to tho governorship had been Intimate with Murphy, so intimate that Mr. and Mrs. Murphy wero welcome at tho "Peoplo's House," as Governor Sul zer asserted himself In an interview, Sulzer may havo told tho truth when ho said his life was in danger. Ho declared, after his break with Tam many Hall, that ho had employed guards to protect him against possible assassination. Attnek after attack, mostly traccablo to political enemies, was mado on Sulzer. Ho was accused nf tiprltirv tho nllpccd nff.MiHH liavlna or perjury, tno alleged ouume uavmg been cpmmlttod, according to his ac- cuser, in 1890. That accusation didn't i seem to hnvo much effect In tho way of rulnln, Sulzer, so suit was filed In Philadelphia by a young woman of tho name of Ilgnon (Polly) Hopkins, charging Sulzer with breach of promise. This action, Sulzor said alBo, was a movo on tho part of his political enemies. Miss Hopkins aBked $30,000 damages for her wounded heart. Sulzer admitted hav lng known Miss Hopkins some years ago, butdenled that ho had ever pro posed marriage to her. Row Over Direct Primaries. f When Sulzor promised real direct primaries to the people of New York, ho evidently meant what he said. When he wont Into office ho made it his business to start legislation for di rect primaries on Its way. He dis covered, however, that he and his po litical associates had very different Ideas of the kind of direct primaries New York wanted. A bill was intro duced at the Instigation of Sulzer, but beforo it was voted upon another di rect primary bill, which Sulzer char acterized a "fraud upon tho people," was Introduced in both branches of the legislature and passed. Governor Sul zer vetoed It, and then called upon tho legislators to pass his bill. The assembly and then tho senate killed tho Sulzer bill, nmld scenes such as the senate and assembly chambers had never beforo seen There wore shouts of rage and shakings of fists in the di rection of the capltol. There were cheers and shouts when It was an nounced that the bills had been killed. Sulzer then starred a campaign to obtain direct primaries. He enlisted many well known men In his cause, and called tho legislature in extraor dinary session. It had then become a case of open warfare. His Campaign Fund Investigated. The governor Instigated Investiga tions otEavernl etate departments, and then Tammany retaliated la kind with an investigation of Sulzor's campaign fund by a legislative committed. Sen ator Frawley, n Tammany chieftain, was tho chairman of the commltteo nnd It commenced Its sittings in Al bany. It was Intimated that Sulzer had received checks for his campaign fund which ho had not listed In his sworn statement, a misdemeanor un der the laws of New York state. Two checks were introduced Into the evi dence One wns for $2,500 from Kuhn, Loeb & Co., tho bankers, and endorsed "Mr. Schtrf's contribution to the Sul zer campaign." The other check was for $500 and was signed by Abram I. Elkus, a prominent Now York city law yer. It was alleged by the Frawley committee that neither of theso checks appeared In Sulzer's campaign list. At a later session of tho Frawley committee, hold In NowYork, It de veloped that Sulzer had owed the stock brokerago firm of Harris & Fuller $48, 699.38 on January 1, 1912, when Sul zer wns In congrpss. According to toitlmony nnd ovldenco offered, Sulzer had been a steady loser In tho stock market. Tho brokers to whom ho owed money dunned him for pnymeut, ac cording to tho testimony, and Sulzer wns finally rescued by his business partner, ex-Governor A. B. Sprlggs, of Montanu, who paid $5,000. and Louis A. Joscphthal of New York, who, on July 19 last, paid $20,749.21. It also developed beforo the com mltteo that Sulzor had traded with Doyer, Griswold & Co. Charlds H. Roynoldn, formerly cashier for tho ltrm, testified that on October 16 last, Frederick L. Colwell, whom ho under stood to be an agent for Sulzer, had bought 200 shares of Dig Four for $12, 025. The stock was paid for tho samo day with eight checks and $7,125 In cash, One check given in pnyment for the Block was a campaign contribution. Tho Frawloy committee alleged that tho seven other cheoks were also cam paign contributions, and asserted that this would be proved. Other Governors Impeached, Soven other governors In the Unltod States havo faced Impeachment pro ceedings. Theso men and tho results that followed wore: Charles Robinson, Kansas, 1862, ao qulttod. Harrison Iteod, Florida, 1868, charges dropped. William W. Holden, North Carolina, 1870, removed. Powell Clayton, Arkansas, 1871, charges dropped. David Butler, Nebraska, 1871, re moved. Henry C.

Why Beekeepers Bsat Pans. Many beekeepers beat tin pans at swarming tlmo because they think it makes the bees settle down, but a con tributor to Bee Culture says that this practice is merely a relio of a forgot ten English law which required the beekeeper to glvo notice in this way that his bees were swarming and that ho was entitled to follow them.

A seven-room cottago houso that may be built for about $2,000 under favorable circumstances, Is Illustrated 'n 'ho architect's perspective and floor-plans here given. Downstalre there are a parlor, dining room, and kitchen, with one bedroom, besides a bathroom having one entrance from the bedroom and another entrance from the kitchen, which facilitates warming tho bathroom from tho kitch en when there is no fire In tho fur nace. There is a convenient grade entrance to tho cellar, which may be reached by four steps down from the kitchen. This nrrnngement leaves room In tho corner of tho entrance for a good-sized rofrlgerator a pro vision that is valuable in any house, and one that is appreciated by every housekeeper. The size of this little cottage Is 28 feet wide by 38 feet long, exclusive of tho porch, which Is not very large on tho ground and not very high; but tbere Is room for four rooms down stairs and three rooms upstairs, with a good, unfinished attle for storngo; and there Is plenty of closet room. A woman never gets too many closets. Architects aro often worried becauao of the demand for more closots than thoy can find room for. One advan tage of arranging bedrooms In a roof like this, Is that tho low portions of tho roof may be used to advantage for this purpose. Somo women prefer an attic over the bedroom, but many would rather have a storeroom of this kind because it saves climbing two pairs of stairs. It Is Impossible to have every good thing included In ono plan. Cottago houses may be lighter In construction than 'two-story houses, and they arc more economical where the roof space is utilized .as it is in this house. The three bedrooms on tho second Hoor represent Just that much rotm that you Uo not hive to provido sMlng for. The roof answers for both cAver nnd side enclosure. Some yea'B ago a man built a houso like thison a good street in a thriv ing city All the othor houses on the street were larger, and ho was abused for building a small houso; but ho fin ished It up nicely, planted vines and flowers in front and at the side, nnd made the ground very rich to grow plenty of grass for a green, thrifty lawn. In less than a car's time, his little cottago was pointed out as be ing the most attractive home on tho First Floor Plan. street Instead of being a damage to other property, It was a valuable ac quisition. A great deal depends on tho way things are dono. It la easy to put up a big barn or a house that no one likes, and it is Just as easy to build a cottage bouse like this for a small outlay and make It into a very Interesting property proposition. "Rose Cottage," as he called his lit tle home, waa talked about, and soon became known away beyond its im mediate neighborhood, because it was such a neat, pretty home. It was built soon after the hard times in the early nineties, when building materials were plentiful and money was scarce, when grass grew between tho piles of lumber in the yards, and lumber waa rotting in the piles while good me chanics were begging for work at any kind of wages. Tho lot cost $700; and the house was completed, including plumbing, furnace, and piping for gas, (or less than $1,000, making tho whole 1 YpfcztmrMCv l Xm L J tfBBss ""i.

It, required good persua sive powers to Induce a money-lender to advance such a fabulous sum as $1,000, and the borrower had to put up personal security as a side Issue to a money shark to got the deal through all of which Illustrates the difference between doing business in good times and bad tlmeB It will bo noticed hnt tho rooms, while not large, are big enough to ac commodate the necessary furniture, and big enough for comfort There is Second Floor Plan. not a room In the house 'that is small enough or awkward enough to bo ashamed of. A houso of this size gives an opportunity to have a bedroom downstairs a convenience that every house does not possess. There Is gen erally, in most families, at leost ono old person who objects to climbing stairs. It would be difficult to arrange a more comfortable bedroom than this one; In fact, few large houses have a room of this kind. As a usual thing, when building, too llttlo atten Hon is paid to tho comfort of the old people. They have spent their lives In the interests of the family, and It Is only right that they should be re membered in their old age. We fre quently seo aged people who nre com pelled to stay upstairs day after day because they dread the trip up and down. Tho appearance of this house de pends a good deal on the colors and stains used for outside docoratlon. On general principles, It Is n good plan to avoid all shades of green. Green paint Is almost certain to fade; and during the process, it Is likely to tako on some very sickly shades of color that are extremely disappointing. Nothing looks better than a light shade of grpen when It Is first put on; but nothing looks worse after it has beon exposed to tho sun and storms for Ave or six months. If a man ever wants to kick himself for doing something absurd In tho deco ration lino, It 1b for painting a house green Drabs and browns are al ways agreeable; and generally such paintB are lasting. Colors, however, depend so much on the quality of the materials used that greatcare Is nec essary In mnklng the purohaso If you buy the paint yourself, or In making a contract If you 'have a painter do the Job. A movement Is on foot to bring about government inspection of paints, something after the present manner of food inspection. It Beems ridiculous that -dishonest paint manufacturers are permitted to grind up any sort of old Junk and sell the pasty product for puro whlto lead. No wonder hon est manufacturers have become dis gusted with such work, and It is hoped their effprta to secure protec tion for honest goods will be success ful. It makes a great difference whether tho painter himself thoroughly under stands the business. A man who knows paint is not likely to bo badly deceived. It he gets pay sufficient, h6 would much prefer to uso good materials. There are two classes ot painters to avoid one don't know, and the other don't care. Marina Painter to the Sovereign. It tho office of poet laureate is abol ished it will be the second position in the royal household that haa disap peared slnoq King George ascended the throne, each ot them related tc the fine arts. The other post Is that ot marine painter to the sovereign. This has not figured in the list ot officials in tho lord chamberlain's department since the death, over a year ago, of the Chevalier Eduardo do Martlno. .

"I don't think I over snw such perfect politeness combined with such abso lute eaBe. I do hopo that ho will como again." "It's the ono best bet that he will, dearie," said Mrs. Morrlwld. "You may Bet your fond, fluttering heart at rest.

"I must Bay that I like a man to be woll mannorcd," remarked Aunt Jane, rubbing her noso resentfully. "I am aware that there Is a modern ten dency to sneer at tho good brooding that in my younger days was deemed essential, and tho manifestation of which. In a refinement of behavior to the opposite sex, was considered tho hall mark of a gentleman; but I am old-fashioned enough to appreclato courtesy." "I'm strong for It too," agreed Mrs. Merriwid. "As Mr. Stoxan usedto say, a gentleman wants to cut out the rough stuff when he's around with tho skirts. At the samo time, dearie, I am of the opinion that there is such a thing as running it into tho ground. I always insisted on poor dear Henry .Morrlwld treating mo with politeness. 1 nevor let him sit down to dinner In Ills shirt-sleeves even In tho privacy of home life, and If he wanted to ubo any language unfitted for my shell-like ear he went down to the basement or tome place wheie 1 wouldn't get any thing more than the low, distant rum ble of It. If there was a suitcase to be curried when we were traveling, he was the porter, and I always got tho pasiest chair In tho room and the whltt) mpat when there was chicken for dinner. Henry was no Chester field, but I certainly had him well grounded in. the first principles, which is about as' much as a woman has a right to expect of a husband." fS&M, Would Stand Bareheaded In the "I wasn't talking about husbands," said Aunt June. "All men are to be considered In the light of husbands, darling," declared Mrs. Merriwid. "It's tho only light that shows their Imperfections You don't get thorn in the mellow radlanco of the melting moonbeams, bellew me, nor yet in the electric splendor of the brilliant ballroom where Mr. Scraypor and I first met.

"You might call It that, beloved one, but Mr, Scraypcr rpmlnds mo a good denl of Mayme Satterlee's fiance," said Mrs. Merriwid.

One Doctor Gallsch, a German phy. slcfnn of Rothonfcldc, has devised a simple drugless method of removing fat, which, If tho doctor's claims for it are Justified, deserves tho attention o tho laity. He declares that ho can shave down the obese man at the rate of two pounds per week, without in any way straining his nervous sys tem or heart. There Is, It appears, a theory that fat Is accumulated princi pally during sleep, and Dr. Gallsch, pondering this, In connection with an observation of his own that corpu lent folks usually eat a very hearty meal, came to tho conclusion that an elimination of that meal would de- Street With a Blizzard Blowing. privo the fat man of his raw materia! during sleep, and thus reduce him to normal proportions. A very llttlo experimenting Justified tltis conclusion, he says, and now the Gallsch method has been added to' bantiug and the other anti-fat modes uf life. Dr. Gallsch suggests tho fol lowing dietetic Itinerary for dally use: First breakfast, bread, butter and tea; second breakfast (10 a. m.), egg and a small tart, dinner (1 p. m.), meat, vegetables, tmlad, preserves; after noon tea (4 p. m.), coffee, crackers or broad and butter, supper (no time set), ono small tart There appears to bo no quantltlve limit for the mid day meal, so the system really amounts to the elimination of all but one "solid meal a day."

In estimating the size of the human brain in comparison with the brain ot other animals, we must figure on not only tho positive size, but tho rel ative. Were this not the case, man would stand below the elephant and whale, as the brains of those crea tures far exceed man's In positive size, while as regards relative size they stand so far below him that whllo tho brain of the elephant amounts to about tho five-hundredth, and that ot the whale to the three-thousandth part of the bodily weight of these animals, respectively, the brain of man varies from one-thlrty-flfth to one-thlrty-eov-enth of his entire weight. This showa the Immense superiority of tho human brain as compared with the brains of J the lower animal's. lkJ. J"X aBBBBBBV BBBBBBBBBr ,. rr-Al V.
